The document describes the SIPv6 Test Program run by the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL) to test Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) implementations over IPv6 networks. The UNH-IOL has developed a comprehensive test plan with over 150 test cases, an automated test tool based on 500 scripts, and a secure IPv6 test network to conduct interoperability testing between SIP implementations from different vendors. Vendors can test their implementations both remotely over a VPN or on-site at the UNH-IOL facilities.

5. •Goals
1.A comprehensive test plan that would establish compliance with the UCR 2008 Change 3 requirements.
2.An automated test tool that would implement the test plan.
3.A secure IPv6 test network to conduct the testing
4.A test environment that would contain various components (e.g. IPv6 compliant routers) to simulate a comprehensive SIPv6 network.
